Tang's - Southend-on-Sea

I've been here many times when I lived local but now only come on odd visit wen I come back to visit family but it's changed and not for the better which is sad to see. Was me mothers family birthday meal. 1st the child height thing I get it but to ask a child in a wheelchair to stand up to measure was a joke! I stated shes a child and 8 years old yes shes tall for her age but she was still under the height restriction because her cousin is taller and was under it but didnt stop them wanting to stand up against it which I refused even women behind said shes in a wheelchair! They allowed to pay child rate in the end but felt they would hav tried it on if wasnt for others about to witness this women rudeness. Then selection of food has lowered and some were rather bland. Some better desserts than on previous visits but doubt I b returning again after this visit. Will b in future going else where for our large family events.

Visited for the 1st time this month and won’t be visiting again. They do there meal prices on height which meant that my tall 10 year old daughter was charged an adult price, this really should be done on age. She ate less than other kids the same age as her in the party but had to pay double the price. The staff were unhelpful and a bit rude, food was ok but definitely not the best.

The restaurant was clean and hygienic, the staff were attentive and friendly, and there was a good selection of food. The price was good and you pay when you go in, which means you can leave when you're ready, so it's handy if you're going to the nearby cinema. The food itself was average though, feeling mass-produced, and some of it was overdone. What really spoilt it for me was the large number of uncontrolled children running riot and making a racket. It's not a place for a romantic dinner! Part of the problem is that the restaurant is truly cavernous, W-shaped and with poor acoustics. I went on a Friday night. I may go back during the daytime when the kids are at school, which might increase it to a 4, but I can't see me ever giving it a 5.

Took my daughter for lunch, food was freshly cooked, tasty and lots of varieties to choose from. Waitresses were constantly clearing away finished plates and asked several times if we wanted anything and were we enjoying the food. It was very busy but there was plenty of room to get between tables. There is a small lift at the back which customers can use if they don't want to/can't use the stairs. Background music was not overly loud so conversation was easily held.

A pay on entry Asian buffet restaurant with a great selection of Eastern dishes. The staff are genuinely friendly, ready to help with the description of the meals. There is a selection to suit all tastes, it is always well and properly cooked, The serving trays are heated, and kept well stocked, but I don't know how the chefs keep up!
